J.P. Morgan analysts listed stocks with the highest range bound score to identify those with the most swings in price over the past three months, compared to the current option premium.
According to JPMorgan’s US Single Stock Volatility Chartbook report, the range bound score is calculated as the ratio between the historical high and low prices during a certain period of time, and the high-low range expected given its current implied volatility.
The higher the range-bound score, analysts said, the looser the trading range of the stock has been, compared with option market expectations and the less attractive it is as an option-sale candidate.
These stocks have a range bound score higher than 125%.
